Musical Interlude. By Geniusofdespair

Nina Simone abuses the audience a bit in this video and tells off a woman in the audience at 2 minutes in, I guess who was headed for the bathroom. After watching this one, I realized Nina was a bit bitchy, besides being a good singer and a rockin' pianist. She wanted to be a concert pianist. The rumor is she was rejected from the Curtis Institute of Music because she was Black. This isn't one of my favorite songs of hers, but I think she said what every musician on earth has wanted to say to an audience member. Good for her.

Quote hall of fame - worth another look:

Complete this sentence: South Florida really needs a..."Regional plan for controlled growth (before it becomes a concrete jungle similar to Houston), and a completely new set of elected officials that make decisions based on what's good for the future of South Florida instead of what's good for their wallets.
